Hello,

 

I wouldn't be posting another post about this issue, but everything I have tried so far, nothing worked. I still get the same error message. I am hoping there is an easy fix.

 

It works on my laptop, but not on my PC, which runs on Windows 10.

 

I tried reinstalling and removing everything connected to photoshop several times and in different ways. Nothing works.

 

Best,

Luka

    Please change the Install language to English on the Creative cloud > Preferences. 

    Reinstall the Photoshop and reset the preferences of the Photoshop from the location mentioned below. 
    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2024\Photoshop 2024 settings to Photoshop 2024 settings.old

    Hi, i had the same problem. Its missing Locales folder in Photoshop folder. This happend to me with Beta version of Photoshop. The problem was that the location and the language in Creative Cloud were not english (US) version. Try deleting program, then change language in preferred languages on your profile to eng (US), reinstall the app and it should work. After that you can change prefferd languages again, as with instal it will also download locales folder that youre missing.

      Hi Luka,

      Did you manage the issue with PS? 

      Best regards,

      You need to change the language to English in the Creative cloud app then install PS and it should work... Seems like Creative cloud doesn't recognize that PS is not available in your local language (of your subscription ) which Creative cloud defaults to... omg Adobe.. you need to fix stuff like that... Just tell the app your local language is not supported... and run PS in default English...

        Hi, I'd try to install in the other language after installing in english, it just instll the language pack. Change the install language in the CC app, then in preferences>interface, you can switch from En to localized.

        Dear Support Community,

        I've seen that I can change UI language in PS to my native one. PS is installed on my laptop, drive C:. I changed the language in Adobe Creative Cloud app and than uninstalled PS. When I reinstalled PS and tried to open it I got the message: Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.

        I did it as adviced, but the message was the same. 

        I don't sync my files with Adobe Cloud. Should I have to clean Creative Cloud?

        Thank You for your help

        Hi @matjazm_1951 what language is your Windows OS installed with? Is it the same language as you are trying to install PS?

          Hoj

          Imam isti problem. Ker pa nisem računalničar imam mal težav z razumevanjem tega, kaj moram stroriti. A lahko kdo tole mal za telebane razloži. Večno hvaležen.

          Zdravo!

          Ker je že nekaj časa pretkelo, ko se mi je to zgodilo, bom poskušal opisati problem in rešitev. Nekje sem prebral, da je Photoshop tudi v slovenskem jeziku, le v Creative Cloud Application je treba to spremeniti, pobrisati Photoshop in ga ponovno inštalirati. Seveda, PS mi je po reištalaciji javljal napako "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.". To sem naredil, pa ni nič pomagalo. Potem pa sem v Creative Cloud Application spet popravil jezik na angleški in PS ponovno inštaliral in od takrat stvar deluje.

          lp

                Hi everyone, making sure you all have cleaned your CC desktop app as this sounds like it is corrupt.

                 

                Has everyone walked through these steps as @Ged_Traynor listed and afterwards, does this issue persist?
